The 3DS eShop is seeing some impressive discounts of late, with Nintendo hacking down the cost of several of its own titles on the download store.

Those titles have now been joined by Code of Princess, which is now being sold for $29.99. The original price was $39.99.

"This is the rare kind of game that seamlessly blends classic brawler gameplay with RPG elements while still managing to remain simple and fun," is what we said in our Code of Princess review, adding that it is "one of the most appealing games we've seen on the 3DS so far."

Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded.

Ive had it for 4 months and never connected with anyone. If it drops another 10$ I definately recommend it for the dumb story, whimsical character designs and voice acting. But the 50 plus characters really shine in multiplayer.

@3Daniel Really? I played single player and totally ignored the online modes in the main. I personally don't think it's a key part of the experience at all- at least it wasn't for me anyway. Depends what you want from a game.

If you like guardian heroes then I'd recommend this. Had great fun with it, the fighting system is great and the script is genuinely hilarious. Wish they'd put a demo out as more people would take the plunge then...

EDIT 3Daniel- just read your later post and yeah using all the unlock characters on online would be fun- I get where you're coming from now

I think online is a strong part of the game too, it's a shame it's dead.That said single player is still fun and quirky, but I liked fighting other people. There are also items that are exclusive to getting certain ranks online (there's even one for being #1 on leaderboards which is ridiculous).

What do you mean a Virtual Console title? It's hard to sound more vague. The gameplay is what makes the game fun though. It's pretty short story-wise, and the story isn't much to begin with but the gameplay is awesome. I bought it at $40 and don't regret it.

I don't think so. There are more than a "couple" hours of gameplay. Yes if you just breeze through the story line you can 'finish' the game in a couple of hours. That is not what this game's appeal is though. People don't play arcade games to just complete the levels and quit because they 'beat' the game.

I paid for the Ltd Ed and yes, the package is great with the CD and all the graphic stuff but @sweetiepiejonus the gameplay is boring as hell, I wish you could play Senran Kagura Burst for 3DS thats a really nice hack & Slash!!! CoP is so overrated... I bought it from day one just because Im a loyal buyer from Atlus, but the true is that I never found a single online match or another person who bought the game... This is just another casual game painted as a niche japanese title. The RPG elements are useless, the ingame arwork is blurry and colorless... I finished the main quest in around 1.5 hrs and keep playing it casually since then, reaching around 15hrs of total gameplay (the smallest time registered in my collection, but one of the more expensive games for my 3DS).
What I mean is that this game is not worth "the amount of money" and I think thats why they reduce the price, probably to see another reduction in the future...

Well hey we all have differing opinions obviously. I thought it was fun and I haven't started it up for a while but when I wanted to I didn't have tons of trouble finding co-op.

I don't think the game is without faults but just feel you are a little harsh. I personally liked the RPG elements. Yeah they weren't all that significant but I still found myself wanting to improve stats and get all the equipment. The main problem I had was the occasional slowdown. But like I said I paid full price and don't regret it.

I'm sure there are lots of better options and I'd never heard of Senran Kagura Burst but if it's better than this I'm sure I'd love it as I said I enjoyed this game.
